Sex-specific effects of size and condition on timing of natal dispersal in kangaroo rats
The effects of proximal cues in eliciting natal dispersal are predicted to vary between sexes because of differences in reproductive strategies. I examined how body mass and condition affected timing of natal dispersal in male and female banner-tailed kangaroo rats (Dipodomys spectabilis), a species that lacks sex-biased dispersal. I experimentally manipulated cues by providing additional food ...
متن کاملDispersal and genetic structure in the American marten, Martes americana.
Natal dispersal in a vagile carnivore, the American marten (Martes americana), was studied by comparing radio-tracking data and microsatellite genetic structure in two populations occupying contrasting habitats. The genetic differentiation determined among groups of individuals using F(ST) indices appeared to be weak in both landscapes, and showed no increase with geographical distance. Genetic...
متن کاملScatter hoarding by kangaroo rats
© 1992 International Society for Behavioral Ecology We observed radio-implanted Merriam's kangaroo rats disposing of 10-g bonanzas of rolled oats in 48 trials in the field. The principal determinant of the initial disposition of discovered food was apparently its distance from the day burrow: food found within about 10m was mainly larder hoarded, whereas food encountered farther afield was usua...
متن کاملFine-scale genetic structure and gene dispersal in Centaurea corymbosa (Asteraceae) I. Pattern of pollen dispersal.
Pollen dispersal was characterized within a population of the narrowly endemic perennial herb, Centaurea corymbosa, using exclusion-based and likelihood-based paternity analyses carried out on microsatellite data. Data were used to fit a model of pollen dispersal and to estimate the rates of pollen flow and mutation/genotyping error, by developing a new method. Selfing was rare (1.6%). Pollen d...
متن کاملDispersal differences predict population genetic structure in Mormon crickets.
Research investigating the geographical context of speciation has primarily focused on abiotic factors such as the role of Pleistocene glacial cycles, or geotectonic events. Few study systems allow a direct comparison of how biological differences, such as dispersal behaviour, affect population genetic structure of organisms that were subdivided during the Pleistocene. Mormon crickets exist in ...
